POISONED Demo Arrives On Unityroom And Itch.io With Versus Play
An individually developed poisoning duel that ships its versus mode inside the free demo gives the small-scale multiplayer premise an audience before the full version's custom rules are built.

Developer Dan released a demo of the PC game POISONED on unityroom and itch.io on October 14, 2026. Players face off one on one at a dinner table, poisoning their own plate, placing three plates on a tray, and passing it to the opponent. A Steam version is planned later. The demo covers one match, from appetizer to conclusion, and supports online versus play.
The premise runs on inheritance rather than combat. The protagonist's great-uncle, a relative they never met, dies and leaves a name in the will; taking the house clears their debts. What waits at the mansion is a poison-tasting standoff.
Each side poisons its own plate and lays three plates on a tray. Whoever receives it eats one and forces the other to eat another. Tools include a silver spoon, a scale that weighs poison across two plates, a butler's whisper reporting how many plates are poisoned, and a seal that blocks the opponent's items. Both hands are visible.
